SpatialKing:
What's so special about assembling a team that would work with you?

APC has really reduced the standards of governance...

The only difference is Peter Obi won't appoint or select based on nepotism like Buhari and Tinubu is doing now..

This actually has nothing to do with APC.

It's just the stupidity of people who want Tinubu to be worshipped and praised for everything.

He speaks well on TV, the praise him, he is able to stand for 1 hour, they praise him.

Has there ever seen a new president in this country who has not come in and sacked all the service chiefs and other government officials to replace them with his own people?

What is the big deal about Tinubu removing service chiefs and others?

seborrhic:
Buhari was a barometer that was the lowest of the low,so much so that even Tinubu speaking audibly at all is celebrated.
Nigerians hearing their president speak outside the country is also a big achievement.
Just shows you how low Buhari not only reduced the presidency but Nigeria itself.
Nobody can beat Buhari in monumental incompetence and "unpresidientialness".

I actually heard a lot of people so happy and excited that they could hear what Tinubu was saying in his inaugural speech.

They praise him so much for speaking aloud.

Well that was also partly due to the Bula bullabaloo he was saying during campaign.

okuta007:
Buhari was the greatest mistake any African country made politically through democracy in the last 100 years - that man wasted 8 years of Nigerians and destroyed us inside out with terrorism and huge debts - may he rot in hell forever and this is coming from me who spent sleepless nights and busy days campaigning for Buhari from 2014 to 2015 - damn

What a failure - Buhari, the SI unit for incompetence

This post is not about Buhari.


Tinubu should provide the palliatives he promised.

There is no time to waste, people are falling sick and dying for real.

Olalekanbanky1:
U mean 1millon per ltr

No 1 million might be too much.


Somewhere in the region of 2500 to 3k per litre would be fine,,

So that we can all sacrifice and build the country together.

Olalekanbanky1:
Pple like you rained curses on Buhari and his cohorts for putting us in debt.
So BAT should Goan borrow another trillions of naira just cos of subsidy?
So u want him to sack his friends? Come off that bro

Of course not! That would be bad of him to go borrow trillions to pay subsidy..

The best thing to do in this case is to work out modalities with the oil bodies, develope a framework, set up committees to carry out proper analysis in conjunction with NLC and Civil societies, to find a way to actualize a fuel pump price of #2,500 per litre.

I think that will be the final solution to the problem.

CyracksMrBlogger:
the masses are still the ones selling food stuffs and essential services and increasing the price, the masses are the ones killing themselves daily, what do you want Tinubu to do? When everyone in this country chose to be greedy and wicked? We are humans and not animals for Christ sake. We need to learn how to coordinate ourselves by ourselves instead of blaming one person sitting up there because he is the president.

If fuel increases from 200 to 550 what do you expect the taxi driver and the barber to do?

If electricity tarrif increases what do you expect people using electricity to offer services to do?

Which kind elementary question be this?

Olalekanbanky1:
So we should curse him for doing the right thing, right?

So increasing fuel price without first investigating to make our refineries work is the right thing?

Increasing fuel price without providing palliatives within a week at most is the right thing?

Selecting government officials to sack,, sack the ones that are not your friends but look the other way to the ones that are your friends is the right thing abi?

Dey there dey deceive yourself.

Wike couldn't talk to Tinubu on his behalf?

Olalekanbanky1:
What would you have done in 21 days,if you were the president? Let’s hear from you

My point which you obviously missed is that;

21 days in office, it's too early to condemn and too early to praise and glorify.

hyperflex:
You're right but the rise in cost didn't start now. We groaned like hell in 2015 upwards. Not an excuse but the rot or hike in prices didn't start today. Today's governments are stuck at trying to mitigate the economic decline. As I'm typing this I'm wondering how great nations get things done. It's mostly by taxing their citizens but the difference is that they give back. Nigerian government literally don't. That must change.

Leadership is not an easy pie. You must make decisions that would make you look both good and bad. That said, Buhari was a waste of 8 years.

True.

But looking at the big picture.

Nigeria as a whole has been a waste of 63 years.

I swear over 100 trillion dollars has been looted since independence.

No development no diversification.

Queendera:
no.

Buhari's nepotism infected all of us. Look at Frontpage.

Two different threads based on the religion and state of origin of the appointees.

The nepotism "virus" (as you rightly called it) has spread beyond Aso Rock and has now infected all of us.

A few years back only buhari was appointing based on ethnicity and state of origin. Today, we are all celebrating Tinubu's appointment based on that and no one seems to be asking if these hands are competent.

So no, this virus has not affected Tinubu but the nation itself. The core of the nation, it's very citizens.

Like you trying to defend Tinubu at all cost without even understanding what I'm talking about.

Like a robot, once you see Tinubu and nepotism used in the same sentence, you swing into defensive mode without even understanding the context.

That is the nepotism virus I'm talking about. We citizens are supposed to defend our democracy but no, we rather defend our ethnic group.

Who then shoulders the responsibility of defending the collective? None.

Perhaps you are too young to understand this.
Even Before Buhari tribalism was the order of the day.
Even in your communities, in your companies, in your street, in your church.

Stop acting like Buhari created nepotism and tribalism in Nigeria.

The constitution even prescribes sharing of power across regions and ethnic groups..

Here you are Mr Know it all, talking about people not talking about competence.

What zone has no competent people?

That aside, Buhari did not cause anything.

The typical Nigerian man is inherently and naturally tribalist and nepotistic.

Stop accusing Buhari for your bad behavior.

Queendera:
we are talking about Tinubu's appointment based on their ethnicity because buhari chose to appoint based on ethnicity and was not inclusive.

Hence, now everyone is trying to see if Tinubu is like buhari.

So yes, face value this is Tinubu's thread. But deep down, we all know buhari caused this

So now, Buhari's nepotism infected Tinubu?
Just like the HIV virus?

Wow!

Just wow!

Queendera:
Buhari really rubbished our democracy. It's all about where you are from now. No competence ratio

You people are just being mischievous.

We are talking about Tinubu and you are talking about Buhari.

sreamsense:
One is not enough out of six positions despite you never worked for emergence of Mr President as expected? If you don't work, don't expect food.

How is it one out of six?

Tinubu has made up to 20 appointments na.

SmartPolician:
No doubt, the appointment has some level of tribalism, but nobody can compete with Buhari in that area. That man terribly polarized the country and it wasn't as if his appointments were based on competence.

Why are we still talking about Buhari.?

Abi is it his own nepotism that is affecting Tinubu?

Is it to justify Tinubu?

Lol

Nigerians love to play politics too much

The Masses are down there wailing and suffering from rising cost of goods and essential services,
People are still getting killed daily in the North, they are here praising Tinubu.

Sad.

seanfer:
You want to reap where you did not sow, you can wait for SE man to become the president and appoint his kinsmen.
You can’t teach him how to run his government.

Lol

I knew you would fall back on this statement once I boxed you to the corner with superior argument.


Now sod off just like your friend above.

fayomim:
I don't have your time ...am engaged with work....zoom off

Sod off

Thanks.

fayomim:
Check up there, you will see for yourself

Up where?

Oh I see!

Now check up next to it for my reply.

[quote author=seanfer post=123912185][/quote]

A man that has made over 20 appointments in 3 weeks and you are dubiously and mischievously showing me 4 appointments!!!

Are we playing here or what?

fayomim:
Oga he doesn't have and that is simple

I guess that is what you want Mr Simple conversation

Good.

Safe to say that the bridge builder's bridge was constructed from the South West through the middle belt to Up North.


Okay, guess we good now!

fayomim:
Is your obi a nationalist and a bridge builder?

What has Obi got to do with this?

Someone said Tinubu is right because he has to appoint people he trusts.

Then I asked "does he not have people he trusts in the SE and SS?"

Whoever said anything about Obi?

How challenging is it, to read and comprehend this simple conversation?


I hope you don't go about teaching your younger ones that the word 'Obi' is the opposite of the word 'Tinubu.'

Lol

See Osinbajo and Aregbesola.

joyandfaith:
Gej that tried to be reasonable did not end well..As a people, tribalism has been ingrained in our DNA.

Yeah, one of the many mistakes of Gej.

joyandfaith:
He has to appoint people whom he trust to sensitive positions..it not unexpected. You don't joke with security chiefs as a president.

So he doesn't have people in the SE and SS he can trust and work with?

Thought he's a nationalist and bridge builder?

Emma1Oj:
He has lived in Edo state before. He will be very stubborn and a no nonsense man. And maybe short fuss too. Not a push over.

What has it got to do with Edo state?

saintkeppy:
All what you listed above does not make less of who Wike is, &Atiku's relative is stuggling to suspend Wike from PDP, so if Wike request to be made Minister, he will not get it?
Akpabio ran around Tinubu &he got the Senate President.

At National level you go to where you're accommodated so Wike ain't losing. . .

Wike ain't losing I agree.

Ass kisser hadly lose,. They kiss asss to remain relevant.

Let's not lose track,

In the National politics of PDP, Wike lost out terribly after Northerners fooled him after his spent Rivers billions.


It's simple as that.

saintkeppy:
Which defeat? Where is Atiku or Iyorchia Ayu today?
Oh! they're still in court or Atiku has gone back to Dubai? while Nyesome Ezebunwo Wike has moved on.
Among the G-5 Governors, he wasn't seeking any elective office. so get that!
He delivered President Tinubu in Rivers State during the Presidential election block votes &the President is very grateful, same day he delivered 3 PDP senators &many PDP FHoR members, FYI Wike is very relevant at National, Tinubu reference him in Rivers State, trust Tinubu, he knows how to reward such people appropriately. Again, Wike installed his PDP successor competently with many PDP House of Assembly members.

So you want to tell me Wike is a Loser?

lol
He removed Ayu and Atiku's relative became the National Chairman abi..

2019 he battled with Atiku to install Tambuwal right under his nose in Port Harcourt he lost.

2019 he battled to install Minority leader he lost.

2023 he battled to be Flag bearer he lost.

And as for working with Tinubu, that doesn't prove any power.

Any body who decides to play anti party or a saboteur will easily succeed.

If Atiku decides to visit Tinubu today and settle with him to get a ministerial slot Tinubu will give him without blinking.

Even if Atiku demands 4 ministerial slots to work with Tinubu, Tinubu will jump at it.

So running around Tinubu and kissing his asss for position doesn't show any position of power.

saintkeppy:
Waiting in vain, this will not happen, trust Wike, he will replace him during 2027 Guber primaries.

Despite all the defeats this Wike has suffered im National politics, you Wike followers still make a god of him.

Continue deceiving yourselves.

Wike very careless talker.

That's how he implicated Mary Odili after he won at Supreme Court in 2015.

"I will goan meet Odili in the midnight he will tell me go and see this person, go and see that person, see where we are today "
